lyrics

One, two, one

Times, Times
Times is so hard
I’ve seen a lady wearing a silver mink(?) riding the city bus
Time
That’s times

You know
Times, they so hard
They be working long hair to no hair
That’s time
I mean time
Time, Its hard

You can’t kick a dollar bill and go nowhere
Time
And a twenty dollar bill will only give you bus fare
That’s time
Its hard
Times
Hard times
Its rough
Out here, its tough

You know, I’ve seen the police with both flat tires on his car
That’s times
Times
Its hard
Times
Its hard
I think sometimes I might want to kill myself
But you love me so good
I think I wont
Times
Hard, hard, hard times

You can’t even find a friend
And there ain't nowhere you can get a job without paying for it
Time
Time

You know,
I’ve seen a hospital close down
Full ambulances in line
With blood running down the sidewalk
Times
Hard times
Yahoo
Yahoo-oo-ooo-ooo
Time, Time, Hard times
Its rough
Things is getting tough
Time

Andre Williams Atlanta, Georgia

He wrote "Shake A Tail Feather," and sang such uber-raunch cult classics as "Bacon Fat" (covered by the Cramps), "Greasy Chicken," and the epitome of songs about little girls, "Jail Bait." He wrote songs for, or produced folks Ike Turner, Parliament/Funkadelic, Edwin Starr and Stevie Wonder. ... more
